A buddy of mine found a good temporary fix for a nasty clunk. He filled the diff with some "shock loading" gear oil from Red Line. I don't really know what they make that stuff out of, but when it's cold, it's the thickenss of yoghurt.
Of course, that's a temporary fix only. But it'll keep things your rear end quiet, assuming you stay away from the burritios.

yeah well an old trick of used car lots was to put a bunch of sawdust in the diffs too this also will quite down clunks, and other noises but I don't recommend that either.

I could probably come up with some sawdust, and yogurt too. But i think i will go for the longer lasting approach.

My point was that this stuff from red-line would have good lubricating properties, so you wouldn't hurt your diff any. If you were worried about taking it on a long trip, this would be a quick and short-term fix.
http://www.redlineoil.com/products_g...61&subcatID=20 is the link if anyone feels like checking it out.

Actually, after reading that again, I can't see why you couldn't run this stuff full time in your diff.

I wasn't really dissing on your Red line stuff. It looks pretty good actually. I was mostly just making fun of the sawdust. But I was looking through the info for the shockproof stuff, and I wonder if it matters if I have a limited slip rear. I didn't read anything about that specifically, but I wonder if it would make my clutches slip?

ok nevermind, it says that it can be used in LS and regular diffs. I think that stuff should be good no matter what. I think I'll use some of that stuff even after I rebuild it. supposedly it increases fuel effeciency too.
